Due Diligence

Every night, he tells the world what’s wrong with it. Eventually, it starts to change him. Due Diligence is a psychological indie short film about ambition, identity, and the quiet pressure to choose a life before you’re ready. After delivering another routine news segment, a young broadcaster finds himself caught between stability and creative freedom. As conversations blur and perspectives collide, he’s forced to confront a question he’s been avoiding: Is he building a life or drifting into one? Exploring themes of burnout, societal expectation, and the fear of falling behind, Due Diligence captures the internal conflict of a generation trying to balance security with meaning.
